I must say, I am utterly thrilled about the latest cinematic offerings gracing our screens this autumn, particularly M. Night Shyamalan’s chilling thriller, “Trap.” As a cinephile who has witnessed the evolution of Shyamalan’s filmography, it is truly fascinating to see how he continues to push boundaries and take risks in his storytelling.
M. Night Shyamalan’s newest movie titled “Trap” has at last confirmed its streaming debut date. Nowadays, figuring out which streaming platform a film will be on and when it becomes accessible can be quite challenging. In this instance, “Trap” is set to hit the Max streaming service, and it turns out it’s arriving earlier than expected. The movie had its theater release on August 2, but it will now be released on Max on October 25, which means it will be ready for Halloween viewing.
In the style of M. Night Shyamalan, the movie “Trap” carries an eerie atmosphere, much like his other films. However, it doesn’t strictly fall under the horror genre. Instead, it tells the story of a serial killer who finds himself cornered inside a concert venue along with his daughter as law enforcement has encircled the building in a bid to capture him. This narrative is inspired by Operation Flagship, a true event from 1985 where police apprehended over a hundred fugitives by offering them free football tickets, only to arrest them upon arrival at the stadium.
Shyamalan, who’s famous for daring filmmaking choices, approaches his movie “Trap” in the same fashion. What sets this film apart from others in his collection is its perspective – it places the audience within the mind of a killer as the main character. In an interview with Comic Book, Shyamalan shared that this distinct idea was what initially drew him to create the movie.
What truly captivated me about the movie was the intriguing twist: you’re experiencing the story from his perspective. It wasn’t just another tale of a serial killer, but a glimpse into his life on the possible day of his capture. This unique angle made me eager to watch it.
It’s a Big Year For Shyamalan & His Family
2024 proved to be a successful year for M. Night Shyamalan with the releases of “Trap” and his daughter Ishana’s film “The Watchers”. However, Ishana’s directorial debut didn’t meet its financial expectations, despite earning $33 million at the box office against a budget of $30 million. Additionally, it received a 32% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
In the meantime, the movie “Trap” has been doing quite well, earning $82 million (and still counting) at the box office with a production budget of $30 million. Critics have showered praise on Josh Hartnett’s performance, building upon the success of his leading role in the 2023 film “Oppenheimer”. If you can’t wait to watch it online, “Trap” is currently available for digital rental on Amazon, Google Play, Apple TV, and YouTube.
On October 10, the movie titled “Caddo Lake,” featuring Dylan O’Brien and produced by M. Night Shyamalan, will premiere on the streaming service Max. This implies that followers of the director will have an opportunity to watch a film he produced on the same platform within the same month. Since Shyamalan’s Blinding Edge Pictures production company has a multi-year, first-look deal with Warner Bros., it is not surprising that his films continue to appear on Max. Similar to “Trap” and “Caddo Lake,” viewers who wish to stream “The Watchers” can do so by subscribing to Max.
